Russian MFA Spokesperson comments on removal of Armenia and Azerbaijan from EU’s Magnitsky Act list

Spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called the story with the emergence and removal of Armenia and Azerbaijan from the list of the European Magnitsky Act ‘juggling’ and an example of neocolonial thinking in the policy of Brussels.

“This is what the Western community wants from Armenia and Azerbaijan, interfering in the process of normalizing relations between the countries. The only goal is not to allow the long-term conflict to be resolved and, once again, to set the anti-Russian course,” Zakharova stressed.
